“Tim Lambesis, the frontman for a popular Christian metal group who was recently convicted of attempting to murder his wife, admitted in an interview that not only was he actually atheist, his entire band was, too — and they hid that fact in order to keep selling music to their fans.

“The fact was initially revealed by his wife in divorce papers, and in an interview with Alternative Press shortly before his conviction, Lambesis, the lead singer of As I Lay Dying, said that he’d become an atheist after completing a religious studies course online.

““I’d get three pages of the traditional evangelical conservative point of view, then three paragraphs or sometimes even just three sentences from the atheist perspective,” he said.”
